With everybody off for the holidays (well, everybody but me), chances are pretty good that at some point you’ll run into a few old “friends” and have to awkwardly stand around catching up when you’d rather be sitting in your mom’s basement looking at pictures of hotties in bikinis. And apparently the same goes for cougars too, or at least the first part, because when it happens to them, they’re already in bikinis. So here’s Real Housewives of NYC “star” Ramona Singer and her former castmate Kelly Bensimon catching up at the beach, and maybe it’s just wishful thinking, but I’m assuming they’re talking about their big plans to date a younger man blogger in 2015. » view all 14 photos Photos: PacificCoastNews
Miss South Africa and 2014 Miss World Rolene Strauss reacts after being crowned during the grand final of the Miss World 2014 pageant in London on December 14, 2014. In the year 2000, at 8 years of age, Rolene Strauss witnessed the crowning of Jo-Ann Strauss #x0028;unrelated#x0029; as Miss SA. She dreamed of winning the title herself, and she did so in March 2014.

Britney Spears recently and infamously dumped David Lucado for hooking up with some other girl … and we now know who some other girl actually is: Hard core porn star Cali Lee! Cali Lee (we’re guessing not her real name), is 5′ and under 100 pounds, having starred in Itty Bitty Boobies, Fresh Outta High School ’14 and other classics. David and Cali crossed paths at a bar near Britney Spears’ house; Lucado claims they were on a break when he was grinding and making out with Lee. Break or no break, he was videotaped hooking up with Cali in August; Britney’s dad bought the video to keep it from getting out, then showed the pop star. She booted his ass – allegedly without even seeing him face to face – declared her single status and had her team ban Lucado from any access to her. The woman in the video had previously been reported as a “retired adult performer and exotic dancer” named Cindy. TMZ’s new report isn’t far off. Cali or Cindy, “The tape is shocking,” a source said. “David is slow dancing with the woman, sweeping her off her feet and passionately making out with her.” “What’s worse is that there are rumored to be other videotapes and other women out there as well… she was ready to marry him. Now she’s totally destroyed.” Whether Lucado cheated with other women or not, and whether they were on a break or not, is almost moot given the stunning nature of his transgression. Britney’s not taking back a guy who went behind her back and shoved his tongue down the throat of a woman who has also had Ron Jeremy inside her. We just don’t see it happening anyway. Britney Spears and David Lucado: Happier Times 1. When Things Were Good David Lucado and Britney Spears were together for a good 18 months. Until he CHEATED on her and got caught!
Molly Glynn, a veteran actress most recently seen as a doctor on NBC’s Chicago Fire, was killed on Saturday after being struck by a falling tree during a bike ride with her husband. The 46-year old was out in Chicago’s Erickson Woods when she got caught in a downpour around 3 p.m. Joe Foust – who was riding ahead of his wife at the time – heard Glynn yell that the couple should take cover, just seconds before a tree was uprooted and crashed into the actress and her bike. Glynn (who had been wearing a helmet) was taken to Evanston Hospital on Saturday and passed away there from her injuries. Glynn portrayed an ER physician on Chicago Fire and had also appeared in episodes of Boss and Early Edition. Foust shared the above photo of himself and Glynn on Facebook after the latter’s tragic death, writing online: “I couldn’t save her. I couldn’t save her. She’s gone.” Michael Halberstam, the artistic director at Chicago’s Writers Theatre, told CBS of Glynn: “Molly was a marvelous actress and a completely warm hearted and generous human being. She had grace, sophistication and a sparkling, sexy, sassy stage presence. She could transform from a princess to a flower girl in the twinkling of an eye. She was a loving mother and wife and everyone who met her fell in love with her.” 23 Shocking Celebrity Deaths 1. Robin Williams Robin Williams has tragically died.

Having already fired Aviva Drescher , The Real Housewives of New York City has demoted Ramona Singer to recurring status for the upcoming seventh season. Singer, 57, has been a main cast member since the show’s 2008 debut. Her demotion follows a similar situation handed to former core cast member LuAnn de Lesseps, who became a recurring “friend” during the sixth season. In Ramona’s case, it’s even more surprising as she’s regarded has one of the chief reasons anyone would watch The Real Housewives of New York City . Or so you might think … but the network doesn’t. “Bravo is casting the show around Heather Thomson and Kristen Taekman and Carole Radziwill,” an insider said. “[When] Ramona carried the show, that is why ratings plummeted, they think.” The source adds that Singer’s paycheck (reportedly $600,000 a year!) was also a factor in her demotion and bringing in new blood such as Helena Christensen . Whatever the reason, the demotion comes after a tumultuous year for Ramona, who just announced the end of her 22-year marriage to husband Mario Singer. His affair with Kasey Dexter and their subsequent brief reconciliation was not shown on TV; Ramona bristled at the reunion when Andy Cohen tried to discuss it. The second Housewives franchise to be launched, the New York City housewives were originally Singer, de Lesseps, Jill Zarin, Alex McCord, and Bethenny Frankel.

The reality star Ramona Singer rolled up her sleeves to help 19-year-old daughter Avery move into her dorm room at the University of Virginia. Ramona Singer is hard at work as a single parent. The Real Housewives of New York star, who announced her split from husband Mario earlier this month following his continued infidelity, got some quality mother-daughter time this week. “Can#39;t believe I#39;ll be starting sophomore year in exactly a week,” Avery Tweeted on Thursday, sharing a picture o
Christina Aguilera has revealed a key piece of information about her brand new baby: The child’s name! Hours after giving birth to a daughter , the singer took to Twitter on Sunday and shared her daughter’s full name with her followers, writing: “So proud to welcome our beautiful daughter Summer Rain Rutler into the world.” Summer Rain is Aguilera’s first child with fiance Matt Rutler and also her first daughter; she and ex-husband Jordan Bratman share custody of six-year old Max. The new parents, who met on the set of the film Burlesque in 2010, announced on Valentine’s Day this year that they were engaged. A month later, they told everyone that they were also expecting. Aguilera has mostly remained quiet and out of the spotlight during her pregnancy, with one key exception: She posed totally naked for V Magazine last month. Hot stuff! What do you think readers?

It was Amber Marchese vs. Nicole Napolitano again Sunday on The Real Housewives of New Jersey, as the new cast members do their best to make a name for themselves. Not in the way you might expect from a Bravo show, though. With news that Jacqueline Laurita is returning to stir up drama and ratings, they upped their game on The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 6 Episode 6. Or did they? What played out last night, and might these events be exactly the reason producers are having Laurita return for the back half of the season? Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 6 Episode 6 Online Amber Marchese and Nicole Napolitano sat down to discuss their infamous hair-pulling fight, and at first it looked like we might see a bit of a rematch. The body language and words were tense, and a few insults lobbed each other’s way felt like the opening salvos of a war that we’d better buckle in for. But then the unthinkable happened. Despite coming out hard after Nicole and expressing not even a little bit of remorse for actions, Amber soon calmed down a bit and cooler heads prevailed. Ditto Nicole. This was either weirdly edited so we could all move on from the story or they are just more mature than we thought, because all is well now. Kiss and make up? Darn close to it. Amber even told Nicole that she thought her relationship with Bobby was bull$h!t and he didn’t love her, to which she had kind of no reaction. Bizarre. They literally hugged it out, and while it didn’t make for any vintage Teresa Giudice or Dina Manzo -style freak-outs, you have to tip your hat to them. There may well be more drama to come, especially given the tensions running high between the men in their lives as well, as the season progresses. For now, though, they are reunited in friendship and it feels so good, albeit slightly boring if you’re the type who watches these shows looking for table-flipping brawls. You win some, you lose some. Real Housewives: Before They Were Reality Stars! 1. Ramona Singer: Before The Real Housewives Ramona and Mario had a totally tubular bikini party once upon a time.

Shepard Smith and Todd Bridges are both backing off critical comments they made in the wake of Robin Williams’ suicide . First, upon reporting news of the star’s death yesterday, the Fox News anchor editorialized on air, asking of Williams and his kids: “It’s hard to imagine, isn’t it? You could love three little things so much, watch them grow, they’re in their mid-20s, and they’re inspiring you, and exciting you, and they fill you up with the kind of joy you could never have known. “And yet, something inside you is so horrible or you’re such a coward or whatever the reason that you decide that you have to end it. Robin Williams, at 63, did that today.” Shepard Smith Refers to Robin Williams as a “Coward” Yes, Shep, it is so hard to imagine. Hence why no one who has never dealt with mental illness can imagine it – or should judge anyone who tragically can imagine it. After receiving a lot of backlash, Smith apologized for his comments to TV Newser. Sort of. “The last thing I would ever suggest about a man I know nothing about personally, is that he’s a coward,” he said. “That goes against everything I am. If those words, I used so innocently, offended his family, from the bottom of my heart, I could not be more sorry.” ( Note to Smith : no one has ever used the word “coward” innocently. Moreover, you’re a liar. In every interpretable way, you suggested Williams was a coward.) 21 Memorable Robin Williams Quotes 1. That You May Contribute a Verse What will YOUR verse be?

Todd Bridges, meanwhile, referred to Williams’ act as “selfish,” wondered why he didn’t get psychiatric help and added via Twitter: “Rest in peace Robin Williams I hope you found what you were looking for. You don’t think that my life has been hell and I’ve had so many ups and downs now. If I did that what am i showing my children that when it gets tough that’s the way out No you gotta buckle down ask God to help you. That’s when prayer really comes into effect.” The former Diff’rent Strokes star later deleted the Tweets and apologized. “I would like to apologize for the terrible timing of me comments that I made in reference to the untimely death of Robin Williams,” he wrote. “My best friend committed suicide a few months ago, and I was devastated to discover that he did not solicit my help. “I am sure that my attitude toward Williams’s death was a delayed reaction of my best friend’s death.
